 Small Purchase Quote Waiver

To ensure reasonable competition (pursuant to Section 4.2020 of the IL Administrative Rules) the University of Illinois requires the submission of multiple quotes for requisitions that are considered a small purchase over $10,000. In certain scenarios, the University may not be able to obtain multiple quotes from vendors that meet the needs of the University. In the event a requisition is submitted without multiple quotes, this Small Purchase Quotation Waiver may be submitted in lieu of multiple quotes.
